Red Meat & Cigarettes on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 12:26:21 AM
Sorry about the catchy title but there is a lot of truth to this.
After a lot of thought and consideration, I think I have figured out what is wrong with the american left.
In a previous blog " Some wine w/ that red meat" I listed in detail some of the glaring hypocracies of the liberal mindset. One of those points, I believe illustrates most clearly why they seem too often, to be on the wrong side of most issues and the wrong side of history lately.
Here it is......
They seem to have the inexplicable problem of making simple distinctions or ending a sentence with a period!
Most of you can think of an example of this. Actually, I hope this is true, because if I am incorrect, that means that they don't really care about being on the morally correct side of any issue. When I use the word moral I am not referring to religious doctrine, but to generally accepted human morals, the most generous definition of the term. You can imagine the ramifications of this frightening possibility.... I don't even want to think about it!
I will not list the many examples that are on all of your minds.
But one that crystalizes the depth of the problem is their support for radicals who explode bombs for the implicit purpose of killing unsuspecting, innocent civilians.
They will dance all around this issue and pay lip service to being outraged by it, as we think they must be, and immediately follow with the word "BUT" or go on to explain why the terrorists do it, or equate it with something America did 50, 100, 200 yrs ago that was completely unequal.
exploding bombs for the implicit purpose of killing unsuspecting, innocent civilians, is WRONG.
My sentence ends with a period for a reason. There is no Extra information needed on the particular subject. we can talk about reasons, feelings, history, borders, sovereignty and a multitude of intellectual angles to human psychology in a different breath.
So when you hear this liberal idiosyncracy, stop that person from continuing after their condemnation of the barbaric act for a brief respite, or a moment of silence if you prefer, and then politely let them continue.
Let's keep em' honest, then we can at least proceed to debate from truth as the starting point.
